Thanks, donated this way!

For some ideas of what to do, this post by Teri Kanefield has a list of concrete actions that you can take: https://terikanefield.com/things-to-do/

Very much appreciated.

Me, pretty sure game dev is going to just be a hobby for me and that I will never try to sell a game, still enthusiastically reading the game marketing articles because they are interesting and it’s cool to know the strategies being used to market to me so I can be better prepared…

I have been using some of the learning resources, specifically this one https://linuxjourney.com/. I hope the video recommendations are helpful to you but I am kicking myself for not adding “also I really hate watching videos and would prefer to read something” to my original post. I have not actually made the switch yet, I want to back up my files first. Bought a new external hard drive with enough space. It was nonfunctional. Had to send it back for a warranty replacement and am waiting on the new drive to show up. Will reply again if I remember once I actually manage to switch over.

!linuxupskillchallenge@programming.dev for people who that link is not working for. (I, personally, get a couldnt_find_post error.)

Sometimes I have been told my links don’t work by some other people, but they work for me logged in and logged out. Wonder if it’s that we’re using different clients, and if your link would work for the people who cannot open my link successfully.

I asked something similar a few days ago, the responses here might help you too

I am oddly charmed by the drawing, did you make it yourself?

However, as I discovered to my cost, TiddlyWiki has never had a strong “start here,” because it is not tailored to one specific task. Obsidian, by comparison, has the advantage of a clear vision of what it does. TiddlyWiki bewilders you with options at first because it hasn’t been designed to be sold. The community focus is on adapting it to different use cases.

So I’m going to take the advice in this explainer and use TiddlyDesktop while mentioning that there are plenty of other arrangements. It is, after all, just HTML and JavaScript. Let’s get started…

You wrote this part twice in your post.

Cool tool though!

Name would not be enough to stop me from using it but TiddlyWiki absolutely sounds stupid. It’s probably a play off “tiddlywinks” but that also sounds stupid. It’s something I’d cringe saying. I might unabashedly type out my recommendation with the name to a friend or send a link to it, but would try to dodge saying the name in an in-person conversation.

This hurts spread. One of the primary ways I find new software is by word of mouth from friends in-person (somehow I have an easier time ignoring or brushing off suggestions that are texted to me, and I take ones made in-person more seriously. I have no idea why), and I usually end up sticking with whatever they recommended.

Also, what do you mean, OP, by “do you have perfect recall or an average human byte”? Are you thinking of information in terms of bits and that people can only keep a limited amount of things in working memory at a time?

The trouble with this is where do you draw the line? What you say is totally true and makes sense sometimes. The question is when is it actually that situation? I can imagine two situations:

• one where the disliked opinion is “the Nazis were right”, and where the kicked person will probably argue back with

opposite of their own CoC terms such as tactful, respectful, safe and inclusive. Instead the opinions they don’t like are weaponized using the other negative terms they list such as anti-social, unhelpful, trolling, controversial etc.

as a way to try to legitimize their position, express their negative feelings at being excluded (because even if you’re a bad person, being excluded feels bad), and make the ban look to others like “oh, just a power-trip by bad management” and totally unjustified. Note that they might legitimately believe it is unjustified, that they probably are not twirling a mustache thinking in strategic terms of “how can I legitimize my position” and are just expressing their hurt feelings—but those are the things that happen when you make that argument.

• one where the disliked opinion is “I don’t like dogs”, which absolutely does not warrant a kick except maybe in a panel of judges of a dog competition or something, where the part I quoted is a good representation of the situation—people are being intolerant when they should not be, the kicked person’s grievance is legitimate, and there might be a case of just personal dislike or power-tripping affecting the decision. When they argue with

opposite of their own CoC terms such as tactful, respectful, safe and inclusive. Instead the opinions they don’t like are weaponized using the other negative terms they list such as anti-social, unhelpful, trolling, controversial etc.

it is actually probably valid.

There are some actions/opinions where the view on whether it is the former situation or the latter situation is… controversial/unclear. I always wonder what happens when it is that kind of situation and how to deal with it.

What show is this?

I enjoyed this animation of the meme in the OP.

I think that would be a great situation to be in.

You have created a cool thing a lot of people use, by being good at something. You’ve done something.

Also, people have no idea who you are. Nobody is digging through your trash, harassing the people you love, taking pictures of you wherever you go including on your bad hair days, etc. You’re just some guy.

This feels like me wanting to learn Hare because I like rabbits, which I bring up because someone left this reply for me and I think it applies to you too:

That is such a sweet reason! Whimsical decisions like this can be some of the best. Life demands a bit of whimsy every now and then.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I was considering firing up a VM just for Hare, but thanks for bringing this option to my attention.

I was going to learn !hare@programming.dev just because it is called “Hare” and I like rabbits, but then I saw that I am not on a supported OS.
